Hundreds enjoyed the historical fun and furry feats on show at Ordsall's annual summer celebration.

Ordsall Community Festival and Dog Show lit up Ordsall Park in Salford thanks to a host of traditional games and costumes.

A number of revellers dressed up in Tudor-era outfits to celebrate the heritage of Ordsall Hall, while activities included giant snakes and ladders, juggling skills and belly dancing.

Residents packed the park under summer skies on Saturday from midday to enjoy canine trained talents at the popular dog show.

Other attractions included a bouncy castle, drumming workshop, competitions, prizes and parades.

The fun was made possible after the Friends of Ordsall Park applied for funding from the Ordsall and Langworthy Community Committee, with lots of donations of prizes and offers of help coming from local residents on the day.

Mayor of Salford, Coun Eric Burgoyne, opened the proceedings and stayed to hand out prizes at 3pm.
